Megyn Kelly tries dancing for ratings as her ‘Today’ show continues to falter
Washington Post ^ | October 20, 2017 | Travis M. Andrews

Megyn Kelly’s slot of the “Today” show desperately needs a ratings boost after less than a month on the air.

On Thursday, Hoda Kotb, the ever-upbeat popular “Today” host from another hour appeared as a guest. They chatted. They danced. They tried to get the audience on its feet dancing, too.

Critics hated the moment.

“I’ve never been so embarrassed,” tweeted BuzzFeed News’s Kate Aurthur. “I feel nothing but second-hand embarrassment for Megyn Kelly,” chimed in media critic Ian Miles Cheong. Vulture called the clip “22 nearly unbearable seconds.”

Kelly needed to strip down and do some pole dancing to boost ratings.

“I would like at this moment to announce that I will be retiring from this program in two weeks’ time because of poor ratings. Since this show is the only thing I had going for me in my life, I’ve decided to kill myself. I’m going to blow my brains out right on this program a week from today. So tune in next Tuesday. That should give the public relations people a week to promote the show. You ought to get a hell of a rating out of that. 50 share, easy.”

My thoughts exactly. MeGyn needs to start and end her show with nude pole dancing and then just play cat videos from the internet in between.

Hopefully it won't be long before NBC announces that the bimbo is on "Special Assignment", which means she'll be out, but due to her huge contract, will pop up from time to time to fill gaps on slow news days, and since NBC manufactures [FAKE] news, won't be too often.

And physicists work with the premise that there is no “perfect” vacuum.
Guess they never looked into Megan’s head.

Her show is hemorrhaging viewers. To coin a phrase.

For the money they’re paying her, I’d dance in any number of places. Including national TV.

She could do the dollar off the cafe table trick and I’d avoid her even more.

“Kelly needed to strip down and do some pole dancing to boost ratings.”

It might attract a few people, but folks with anti-left principles would likely be no more apt to want to watch that than they would a similar freak show with Jane Fonda stripping down.

She’s where she belongs, on a sinking ship (NBC).

Frankly, she isn’t good looking enough for that. The elephant in the room is she wasn’t got enough for Fox.

She isn’t bad but has a funny body form and a horse face.

I’m not adding much to this thread other than to say that Hoda Kotb (at least to me) is kinda hot looking.

I think she should stick with the magic tricks she used to get where she was before she destroyed her career.

No, Steve, no! The pre-winter depressive seizures are already doing their damage to you!

Because she has a tan, because she has any skin tone whatsoever, your weakened brain is saying HOT when all visual evidence says NOT!!

Book a vacation, Steve! Leave for Hawaii, California, Florida...even Puerto Rico!

Like a boxer who has fought one too many fights, Steve, you have obviously taken one too many Minnesota winters on the chin!

I feel the second hand humiliation. Then I go back and remember how she was so haughty taughty with her Fox viewers and her disrespect for President Trump and I feel schadenfreude instead.

Did NBC hire her for perceived appeal or did they hire her to derail Fox News?

WTH? Over the top idiotic comment. This adds nothing to the site and reinforces the thinking that our side is filled with heartless goofs. Sheesh
